Zinfandel finds a warm, generous home in Paso Robles, where the California sun coaxes the grape toward its ripe, brambly side, and this 2021 bottling from Ancient Peaks Winery leans into that regional character. It is a still red built in the easygoing, fruit-forward mode that Zinfandel does so well, the kind of California red that tends to show jammy dark berry and a touch of pepper.
